Absolutely love this series. I'm sure Daisy earned her rest and would be up like a shot if there was a coyote within 5 miles!!! Hey were you ever able to bathe or shear she and Marta??? Daisy is looking pretty clean and I remember earlier this spring you were bemoaning the state of their coats......

We've been thinking lately about getting a livestock watchdog. I've lost three laying hens and a duck in the past month, and our pet dogs aren't doing the trick. Broke down and got a rooster, finally, but he has his hands full.

I hate that feeling, that someone's not going to show up when you call them in. We lost our favorite hen two weeks ago and I'm still heartbroken about it.

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
